About Arnold

Arnold is a super attentive and affectionate companion who loves sleeping in a sunny spot or buried under a blanket in his bed. He doesn’t need lots of exercise but certainly loves the stimulation of a short walk. 

Personality Highlights

Arnold is really motivated by treats so is very trainable and will learn new tricks if he is bribed with a tasty snack. He loves the sun in the back yard almost as much as he loves a cuddle on the couch and will spend hours whittling down a durable chew toy.
Current Training Progress• House Training: Arnold is fully toilet trained and doesn’t mess inside the house although you can expect a number 2 on the deck or concrete if the grass is wet.• Lead Skills: Enjoys walks and car rides but will pull hard and bark through excitement for the first part of the walk. Some training will see him be a better walker as he does respond to treats.• Social Skills: Arnold is amazing with dogs and cats that he knows and plays well. He does however react to other dogs during outings so a short lead and distraction is a good idea.

Daily Care• Diet: Arnold eats Purina dry food and Roo with chicken mince twice a day.• Exercise: Enjoys active playtime and regular walks• Sleep: Settles well in his own bed beside his humans bed and also likes a sleep in.• Behaviour: No food or toy aggression, plays well with other dogs.

Arnold would flourish in a home that offers:• A calm, structured environment where there is often someone home. He is perfect in our home when we leave but does bark and cry when left alone in a new environment, so some patience and persistence whilst he gets comfortable will be needed • Canine companionship, he is happy living with other pets but a mature calm companion would be best• A secure yard for exercise and bathroom breaks• Understanding that he needs to adjust to being left alone in a new home

Health Status• Desexed• Microchipped• Fully vaccinated• Flea and tick treated• Wormed
• Arnold had back surgery last year and has recovered remarkably well but it would be best to avoid stairs or play time that’s too boisterous.
